I was coming home from the post office, and caught a flash of yellow zooming into the forest next to our garage. I got out, watched and waited. . . and success!
Max 40X optical zoom on my wee Canon SX730HS and tight cropping.
BTW, thanks to my Facebook friends who come to my rescue when I’m not sure what kind of bird I’ve “shot.”
No post-processing aside from minor cropping and sharpening. All colour/motion changes are simply through varying exposure and combinations of shutter speed/aperture.
We spotted a few of these today, and when I posted them to Facebook (my favourite animal ID app : – ), was told they are Red-Legged Frogs. They were barely the size of my thumbnail.
There were a lot of people on Burnaby Mountain tonight. Long weekend? Hoping to see the Northern Lights? That didn’t pan out, but it was a lovely sunset.
This is a series of shots taken of downtown Vancouver from the mountain, with deliberate variations in focus. . .
Yumi and I spent a few hours at the Nikkei Matsuri summer festival at Nikkei Place, just a few minutes walk up the hill from our place in south Burnaby, BC.
